The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has asked the ten state associations hosting the 2023 ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup matches to voluntarily forgo their turn to stage any ODIs during the upcoming season, per the latest reports.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has asked the ten state associations hosting the 2023 ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup matches to voluntarily forgo their turn to stage any ODIs during the upcoming season, per the latest reports. It is to compensate for the venues that missed getting a World Cup game, including the IS Bindra Stadium in Mohali – which hosted two semi-finals (1996, 2011). Following the 2023 World Cup schedule announcement last Tuesday, 12 venues, including ten that will host World Cup matches, and the remaining two (Guwahati and Thiruvananthapuram) where warm-up matches will take place, got finalised. Cities that will host the main games are Ahmedabad, Hyderabad, Delhi, Kolkata, Pune, Mumbai, Dharamsala, Chennai, Lucknow and Bengaluru.

"During our meeting, I proposed a solution to ensure a fair distribution of matches for the ICC World Cup 2023. I requested the hosting associations, with the exception of Assam Cricket Association and Kerala Cricket Association, who were allocated warm-up matches, to voluntarily forego their turn to host an ODI during the bilateral international season. This proposal was put forth in order to accommodate the state associations that unfortunately missed out on hosting matches for the 2023 World Cup edition," BCCI’s letter to all ten State Association reads. Shah later informed that all hosting units ‘unanimously’ agreed. "I'm pleased to inform you that the proposal received unanimous agreement and support from all the participating associations. This decision showcases the spirit of cooperation and unity amongst the cricketing fraternity, prioritising the overall success of the 2023 World Cup and ensuring equal opportunities for all the state associations to be a part of this prestigious event. I would like to express my heartfelt appreciation to all the hosting associations for their selflessness and understanding in embracing this resolution," the BCCI secretary wrote in his letter. India’s upcoming schedule While India will travel to the Caribbean for two Tests, three ODIs and five T20Is, starting July 12, the Men in Blue will host Australia for three ODIs in September and Afghanistan before the World Cup begins, with warm-up matches starting September 29. Following the mega event that takes place from October 5 to November 19, India will host Australia for a five-match T20I series and England in early 2024 for five Tests. Later that year, Bangladesh and New Zealand will tour India for the Test series. WATCH WION LIVE HERE:

According to Colonel Manoj Dobriyal, who is in charge of it, the women's league is run by the Army's Sadhbavana Project and has gotten favorable reviews.

India: Big response for Indian army's women's cricket league in Jammu and Kashmir

After Kashmir's male cricketers proved&nbsp;their talent and made it to the international cricketing arena, it's the female cricketers from the valley trying to make a mark. Hoping that very soon, they will be representing India at international level.&nbsp;

The Indian army has kickstarted valley's first Kashmir Women's Cricket League&nbsp;at the Sher-e-Kashmir Cricket Stadium in Srinagar. Around&nbsp;12 of the most talented women's cricket teams from different regions of Jammu and Kashmir are competing for the trophy, showcasing their remarkable talent and passion for the game.

The Kashmir Women's Cricket League finals would&nbsp;be&nbsp;attended&nbsp;by renowned Indian female cricketer Mithali Raj. The LG of Jammu and Kashmir Manoj Sinha will also be attending the event.&nbsp;

''I am coming out from my house for the first time to play cricket. I am extremely excited and working hard to win the match. I want more of these tournaments, and platforms for the girls. It never used to happen in Kashmir and now it is and I want to tell every girl to participate in these events and I am sure one day I will play national and international cricket. We have a long way to go,'' said Afreen, a player.

Indian army starts first Kashmir Women Cricket League, female cricketers aim to play for India

India pacer Jasprit Bumrah made a long-awaited return to international cricket during the 1st T20I against Ireland on Friday, August 18. The pacer, who also led the side, played a pivotal role in India's 2-run win via Duckworth-Lewis System (DLS) as rain played spoilsport.

Bumrah bowled the very first over the match after Ireland were asked to bat first in Dublin and delivered a double-wicket over. The over set the tone for the rest of Ireland's innings as they managed just 139/7 in 20 overs. After the match, Bumrah spoke about how he felt about playing after so long and thanked the National Cricket Academy (NCA) staff for his recovery.

“(I) felt very good. So many sessions I did at the NCA and the practice games. Didn't feel like I missed out a lot or I'm doing something new so credit to the staff there,” Bumrah said.

Asked if he felt any nerves during the game, the stand-in skipper replied 'no,' saying captaincy took his mind off his own performance.

“Very happy to be back and always good to contribute. [Any nerves?] Not really, when you're captaining you are thinking more about the whole team and not just your own performance,” said the 29-year-old pacer.

Speaking about the team's performance, Bumrah said he was happy that weather was helpful for the bowlers.

“Very happy that the weather was helpful for the bowlers. In every game you want more and you always search for a perfect game. Credit to them as well for keeping their nerves in a crisis,” added Bumrah.

Chasing 140, India managed to get off to a rollicking start and scored 47 in about six and a half overs for the loss of no wickets. The visitors, however, lost two wickets in two balls on the fourth and fifth ball of the seventh over before the rain stopped play.

India were ahead by two runs according to DLS at the time players went off and eventually won the game by the same margin to take 1-0 lead in the three-T20I series.

'Credit to the...,' says Jasprit Bumrah for successful return to international cricket after 1st Ireland T20I

The Pakistan cricket board has been forced to republish a promotional video highlighting the country's key achievements in the sport as the initial video released on Pakistan's Independence Day didn't have a single visual of Imran Khan. The former Captain Waseem Akram led the backlash against the PCB for airbrushing the former prime minister but also Pakistan's greatest cricketer out of the earlier video three days after uploading the original clip on the microblogging site X formerly known as Twitter. The PCB has put out an updated version which they call the complete version the PCB attempted to do damage control by claiming some important Clips had been omitted due to time constraints.

UAE vs NZ 1st T20: Check date, venue, time, squads, live-streaming and all you need to know

The reason behind the introduction of T20 cricket was for fans to enjoy a crispier and shorter version of white-ball cricket. But if the T20 cricket is only being played over longer durations, what’s the point of cutting the already successful format – the 50-over one? With time, teams and tournaments worked on ways to curb slow over-rate; while a few brought ‘more fielders inside the 30-yard circle’ rule, some thought of punishing the captains with hefty fines. None worked. So now, a red card for a player as a penalty to get introduced in the upcoming season of the Caribbean Premier League (CPL).

Yes, you read it right!&nbsp;

Though cricket, in many ways, is leaning towards following the club football path, with T20 leagues getting prioritised over international cricket already, bringing the red card rule as penalties for players (during slow over-rates) is just a beginning.

In a first of its kind, the CPL – for men’s and women’s matches, has introduced severe penalties for teams not finishing the innings under stated rules.&nbsp;

As per the 85-minutes-per-innings rule in the shortest format, the 17th over of the innings must be done by 72 minutes and 15 seconds, and the 18th by 76 minutes and 30 seconds. The penultimate over must be completed by 80 minutes and 45 seconds, and the final over – the 20th, must be bowled within 85 minutes.

Any team finishing their quota of 20 overs over this period (which has become a trend with T20 games getting longer with each passing year) will get punished.

"We have been disappointed that our T20 games have been getting longer and longer each year, and we want to do what we can to arrest this trend," Michael Hall, the CPL's tournament operations director, said in a statement on the subject.&nbsp;

"It is the duty of those involved in cricket to ensure that the game keeps moving, and we have sensitised both the franchises and our match officials to this duty ahead of the tournament. Our hope is that these in-game penalties are not needed, but we believe they are proportionate and necessary."

<h2>What are the new rules?</h2>

As per CPL, here are the new rules relating slow over-rate -

<ul>
	<li>If behind the required over rate at the start of the 18th over, one additional player must enter the fielding circle - for a total of five players inside the circle</li>
	<li>If behind the rate at the start of the 19th over, two additional fielders must enter the fielding circle - for a total of six inside the circle</li>
	<li>If behind the rate at the start of the final over, teams will lose a player from the field - selected by the captain - and have six inside the fielding circle</li>
	<li>There will also be an onus on batting teams to keep the game moving. After a first and final warning from the umpires, the batting team will be slapped with a five-run penalty for each instance of time wasting.</li>
</ul>

Meanwhile, the men's CPL 2023 starts on August 17 with Jamaica Tallawahs facing St Lucia Kings in Gros Islet, and the women's event will start on August 31 with a game between Barbados Royals and Guyana Amazon Warriors in Barbados.

IND vs WI 3rd T20I Live Streaming: Here's how you can watch India vs West Indies live for FREE

India skipper Harmanpreet Kaur wants more women's Tests to take place. While she agreed that playing T20s is fun, she said that Test cricket is something everyone wants to play.&nbsp;

"As a player, I definitely want more Tests because as a growing kid, we saw more Tests on TV than T20s," Harmanpreet said on a Sky Sports Cricket Podcast. "Nowadays it's a lot of fun playing T20s but Test cricket is something every cricketer wants to play."

India are one of the four teams which will be playing Tests in the 2022-25 Future Tour Program (FTP) cycle apart from Australia, England and South Africa. The Indian side, however, will be playing the least number of Tests (2) behind England (5), Australia (4) and South Africa (3).

"This year we have two Tests - one against England and one against Australia - and I hope those games can make a huge impact on women's cricket and hopefully in the future we will keep getting more Test matches. We have to bring back Test matches in women's cricket because it's very important for women's cricket," said Harman.

The skipper, who is currently in England playing The Hundred for Trent Rockets, also spoke about the need to bring back two-, three-day games to domestic setup in India. She, however, acknowledged that the level of domestic cricket has improved a lot.

"Trust me, [domestic cricket] has improved a lot," she said. "Initially when I started playing, we hardly got domestic games but for the last couple of years, domestic level has improved a lot. We are getting more games and some domestic games are live also, people can watch on TV.

"It is improving day by day but in my early days we used to play two- and three-day games which we are really missing, and I'm sure after these two Test matches hopefully we'll get two-day matches back. The more cricket we get, the more improvement we'll see in women's cricket," she said.

India skipper Harmanpreet Kaur bats for more women's Tests

India's losing streak continued on Sunday, August 7 against West Indies as they lost the second T20I of the five-match series by two wickets in Guyana. The visitors are now two down in the series with three more matches left. India skipper Hardik Pandya lamented yet another poor outing by batsmen and acknowledged that it was not a 'pleasing performance.'

“If I am being honest that was a not a pleasing batting performance, we could have batted better. 160-plus or 170 would have been a good total,” said Pandya after the match.

Notably, India had lost two wickets in the powerplay itself and eventually managed just 152 runs in their 20 overs. Two-T20I-old Tilak Varma was the only shining spot in the Indian batting line-up, scoring 51 off 41 balls. Apart from him, opener Ishan Kishan and Pandya scored 27 and 24, respectively, as India tried to overcome another batting failure.

However, once Varma got out in the 16th over, India's long tail was unable to keep up the scoring rate. Asked about the same at the post-match presentation, Pandya said that "we have to trust top seven batters".

“With the current combination we have, we will have to trust our top 7 batters to come good and hope the bowlers win you games. We have to find ways to make sure we have the right balance but at the same time batters need to take more responsibility,” said Pandya.

The bowlers did bring India back in the game as they scalped two quick wickets at the start of the chase, but Nicholas Pooran's 40-ball 67 took the game away from them. Leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal's sensational over with three wickets, including a run-out, did give India an opening towards the end but the visitors couldn't capitalize on it.

The two teams will play the third and last T20I of the Caribbean leg on August 8 in Guyana before moving to Lauderhill, USA for the last two T20Is.

For the next season, two teams from Down Under – Australia and New Zealand got added to the setup, while the tournament was played in Dehradun and Raipur during the September window.

In both editions, the Indian Legends defeated Sri Lankan Legends in the finals in Raipur.

Satya Nadella, Seattle Orcas co-owner, hopes Major League Cricket can attract new cricket fans

Former India batsman Yusuf Pathan turned back the clock in the ongoing Afro T10 league on Friday, July 28 as he hit 80 runs (not out) in just 26 balls. Pathan, playing for Joburg Buffaloes, also smashed former Pakistan speedster Mohammed Amir for 25 runs in an over to take his team home.

Pathan came to crease at number four as his team looked to chase a huge total of 141 runs in 10 over against Durban Qalandars in the first qualifier. The Buffaloes looked tied until the eight over of the inning when Pathan decided to up the ante. The batsman, batting at 19 off 12 balls at that point, hit first two balls of Amir's over for sixes before hitting one more on the fourth ball. Have a look at the video here:

The former India batter then finished the over with a boundary on the last ball. Needing 20 runs in the final over, Pathan got the strike on the second ball and smashed two four and two sixes on the next four balls to see his team home. With the six-wicket win, the Buffaloes also secured a place in the final of the event. Pathan was adjudged Man of the Match for his innings which involved eight sixes and five fours.

Earlier, Durban Qalandars lost the toss and were asked to bat first. Andre Fletcher top scored for them with 39 off 14 balls but it was the late hitting by Asif Ali (32 off 12) and Nick Welch (24 off 9) which got them to a healthy total of 140/4 in 10 overs.

The Qalandars, after losing to Buffaloes, went on to play against Harare Hurricanes in the second qualifier and came out winning. They now face Joburg again in the final of the tournament, scheduled to be played on Saturday, July 29.

The batsman, batting at 19 off 12 balls at that point, hit first two balls of Amir's over for sixes before hitting one more on the fourth ball.

Needing 20 runs in the final over, Pathan got the strike on the second ball and smashed two four and two sixes on the next four balls to see his team home. With the six-wicket win, the Buffaloes also secured a place in the final of the event. Pathan was adjudged Man of the Match for his innings which involved eight sixes and five fours. Earlier, Durban Qalandars lost the toss and were asked to bat first. Andre Fletcher top scored for them with 39 off 14 balls but it was the late hitting by Asif Ali (32 off 12) and Nick Welch (24 off 9) which got them to a healthy total of 140/4 in 10 overs. The Qalandars, after losing to Buffaloes, went on to play against Harare Hurricanes in the second qualifier and came out winning. They now face Joburg again in the final of the tournament, scheduled to be played on Saturday, July 29. WATCH WION LIVE HERE You can now write for wionews.com and be a part of the community.

Zak Crawley is the highest run-getter in Ashes 2023. After four Tests, the English opener has amassed 385 runs including a daddy hundred and a fifty. Crawley started the series with a flamboyant fifty (61) in the series opener, in Edgbaston, and a brisk 48 in the Lord's Test. He followed it up&nbsp;with 33 and 44 in the third Test, in Headingley, but came to his best in the fourth and penultimate Test.

After England rode on Chris Woakes' five-fer to dismiss Australia for 317 in the Manchester Test, opener Crawley started off cautiously but went berserk from there on to slam 189 (182), laced with 21 fours and three sixes. Even though the Test ended in a draw, due to rain, Crawley made a huge mark and returned with the Player-of-the-Match award. The cricketing fraternity lauded the 38-Test old Crawley and former English captain Alastair Cook has joined the bandwagon as well.

Cook is in awe of Crawley's strokeplay and compared his playing style with India great Virender Sehwag.

<h2>'You can compare a little bit of Sehwag in terms of the ability to take frontline bowlers down'</h2>

During a media interaction arranged by Sony Sports Network, Cook said, "I think the way Zak Crawley has played in this series. That knock was a special knock. To score 189 out of 182 balls against the quality of Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood, Pat Cummins I think is extraordinary. I think that potential is why Ben and Brendon have stuck with him. He plays shots which no one else can play as an opener in the world."

"You can compare a little bit of Sehwag in terms of the ability to take frontline bowlers down. It's actually unique and when he does have his day, he changes games. That's why he's been backed so hard by the England leadership and they got rewarded for it. I mean he plays shots that I could only dream of and it was an extraordinary innings," Cook, England's second-most successful Test captain mentioned.

Crawley will be over the moon having being compared with Sehwag. The former Indian opener was a nightmare for bowlers as he often took them on from the word go while opening the innings in the&nbsp;red-ball format. He ended with 8,586&nbsp;runs in 104 Tests, at a strike rate of&nbsp;82.23, including 32 fifties and 23 tons.

<h2>Ashes 2023 on the line for England</h2>

England will hope for another big contribution from Crawley in the fifth and final Test as Ben Stokes &amp; Co. need to win The Oval contest to end the series at 2-2. Australia, meanwhile, have retained the urn -- after rain helped them prevent a likely loss in Manchester -- and will now aim for their first&nbsp;Ashes&nbsp;glory in England after 22 years.

Ashes 2023: Alastair Cook lauds Zak Crawley, says he sees shades of Virender Sehwag in England opener

The Cape Town Samp Army put on a dominant display on Sunday evening at the Harare Sports Club, further consolidating their position at the top of the points table. The Samp Army first bowled brilliantly and then batted with panache, as they defeated the Joburg Buffaloes by 7 wickets, with 14 balls to spare. 
&nbsp; 
Batting first in the second game of the day, the Joburg Buffaloes had a bad start, losing the wicket of Will Smeed off the first ball for a duck. A 20-run stand followed after that between Tom Banton and Milton Shumba (14), before the latter was sent packing by Mujeeb Ur Rahman.

Banton, who scored a fifty in the previous match, was the next to walk back, dismissed for 6. At this stage, the Buffaloes were in trouble and it was Yusuf Pathan, who added 15 more to the cause. The Buffaloes weren’t able to get much of a move on in the innings up until then and needed the duo of Mushfiqur Rahim (16*) and Mohammad Hafeez (23) to turn up the ante.

They put together a 42-run stand after that and Noor Ahmad added seven more before the end of the innings. The Buffaloes, who had a tough time to getting any momentum, finished with the score at 96/5 in 10 overs.

In response, the Samp Army got off to a flyer with Tadiwanashe Marumani looking really good at his end and had solid support from Rahmanullah Gurbaz. The openers made batting look very easy under the lights, with the young Zimbabwean doing most of the heavy lifting.

The batters were in such good control that even the very experienced Mohammad Hafeez, who has been dangerous so far in the tournament, could not apply the brakes on the Samp Army. By the end of the fourth over, the Samp Army had reached the 50-run mark without losing any wickets and were well on their way towards a big win.

In the sixth over of the chase, Marumani got to his half-century with a six over extra cover, as the finish line came closer and closer. However, Marumani could not hang in there till the end and was dismissed for 54 in the 7th over, after the openers put on an 86-run stand.

After that, the Samp Army lost the wickets of Gurbaz for 35 and Bhanuka Rajapaksa for 1, before Matthew Breetzke and Karim Janat put the seal on the win.

Zim Afro T10: Cape Town Samp Army Register 7-Wicket Win Against Joburg Buffaloes

India's Mohammed Siraj bowled one of the finest spells of his career, taking a five-wicket haul on day 4 of the second Test against West Indies. Siraj's brilliant bowling ensured India have a lead of 183 runs in the first innings. India then scored quick runs in their second innings and Ashwin took two wickets to give the visitors a chance for a clean sweep in the two-Test series.

Siraj, whose five-for orchestrated dramatic turn in the game, spoke on his plans after end of play before reporters and thanked India's strength and conditioning coach for his fitness.&nbsp;

“I executed my plan nicely, especially when it started to reverse,” he told reporters.

“There was nothing much happening, so I planned to bowl stumps to stumps. Plan was simple to not give them easy runs and keep things simple.

“I relishes responsibilities. To step in on the field with a responsibility on my shoulders gives me extra motivation and it is challenging as well and I like to accept challenges,” he said.

“It is not easy to take five wickets on a flat track. Credit goes to Soham (Desai) bhai, who has worked tirelessely on my fitness. I have been playing matches continuously and he makes sure that I stay fit,” added Siraj.

“It was hit and humid and because of the rain, we were going on and off the field, it is difficult for a fast bowler to keep yourself charge. It is not easy to bowl long spells in such condition also,” he added.

In 16 Test matches, Taber scored a mere 353 runs at 16.04, with his highest score of 48 coming against West Indies in Sydney in 1969 - a Test Australia won by a whopping 382 runs.

Brian Taber, ex-Australian keeper dies aged 83, Cricket Australia CEO pays tribute

Virat Kohli's 29th Test century highlighted a solid batting effort by India in getting to 438 batting first against the West Indies on the second day of the second and final Test at in Trinidad on Friday.

In response, on Queen's Park Oval pitch offering little assistance for the bowlers, the home side were well placed at 86 for one in reply at the close. A repeat of the swift demolition West Indies suffered in the first Test in Dominica a week earlier seemed unlikely.

With a sense of occasion befitting someone of his vast experience and considerable success, Kohli reached three figures within minutes of the start of the day from his overnight score of 88.

A square-driven boundary off fast bowler Shannon Gabriel took Kohli to the landmark in his 500th international match and his determined demeanour throughout the innings suggested a monumental effort was in the making by the 34-year-old.

He was undone by an error of judgement when he was run out for 121. Alzarri Joseph's direct hit at the non-striker's end from square-leg found Kohli just short of his ground as he scampered for a single.

Kohli's innings spanned four-and-a-half hours. He faced 206 deliveries, stroking 11 fours. He dominated an important 159-run fifth-wicket partnership with Ravindra Jadeja which restored India's ascendancy after a mid-afternoon wobble on the first day when they slipped to 182 for four.

"This was an opportunity for me to stand up for the team and these are the sorts of occasions where I switch on completely," said the former captain on his first Test hundred outside of India for more than four years.

"The stats and milestones and all of that are for others to talk about," he emphasised. "If I do it in a situation where the team needs me that is more special because in 15-20 years' time the milestones won't matter but what will remain is the impact you left on the field and how you were able to help your team."

Jadeja's was the other wicket to fall in the morning session for a composed 61. He was adjudged caught behind off Kemar Roach, television umpire Michael Gough overturning the "not out" verdict by on-field official Marais Erasmus.

Ravichandran Ashwin held the rest of the innings together before being last out to Roach for a 78-ball knock of 56. Roach and left-arm spinner Jomel Warrican led the bowling effort with three wickets each.

Destroyer of the West Indies at Windsor Park Stadium, Ashwin, like all the Indian bowlers, found the placid pitch much less responsive.

It was only a poor shot by Tagenarine Chanderpaul in the final session which brought about his demise to Jadeja, leaving captain Kraigg Brathwaite and debutante Kirk McKenzie to carry the home side into the third day.

Alzarri Joseph's direct hit at the non-striker's end from square-leg found Kohli just short of his ground as he scampered for a single. Kohli's innings spanned four-and-a-half hours. He faced 206 deliveries, stroking 11 fours. He dominated an important 159-run fifth-wicket partnership with Ravindra Jadeja which restored India's ascendancy after a mid-afternoon wobble on the first day when they slipped to 182 for four. "This was an opportunity for me to stand up for the team and these are the sorts of occasions where I switch on completely," said the former captain on his first Test hundred outside of India for more than four years. "The stats and milestones and all of that are for others to talk about," he emphasised. "If I do it in a situation where the team needs me that is more special because in 15-20 years' time the milestones won't matter but what will remain is the impact you left on the field and how you were able to help your team." Jadeja's was the other wicket to fall in the morning session for a composed 61. He was adjudged caught behind off Kemar Roach, television umpire Michael Gough overturning the "not out" verdict by on-field official Marais Erasmus. Ravichandran Ashwin held the rest of the innings together before being last out to Roach for a 78-ball knock of 56. Roach and left-arm spinner Jomel Warrican led the bowling effort with three wickets each. Destroyer of the West Indies at Windsor Park Stadium, Ashwin, like all the Indian bowlers, found the placid pitch much less responsive. It was only a poor shot by Tagenarine Chanderpaul in the final session which brought about his demise to Jadeja, leaving captain Kraigg Brathwaite and debutante Kirk McKenzie to carry the home side into the third day.

Kohli hits 29th Test century in his 500th international match but West Indies fight back

Virat Kohli and Ravindra Jadeja combined in an unbroken century partnership for India to regain the ascendancy over West Indies at 288 for four at stumps on Thursday, the opening day of the second and final Test.

After being put in to bat at Queen's Park Oval in Trinidad, India started strongly before faltering in the afternoon session.&nbsp;

After tea, Kohli played with the exaggerated caution of a man keen to leave a significant mark on the 500th international match. His &nbsp;unbeaten 87 (161 balls, eight fours) with the support of Jadeja (36 not out) put India back in command.

Their stand of 106 frustrated the Caribbean team in a long final session with captain Kraigg Brathwaite resorting to his own loopy off-breaks in search of a breakthrough.

It was a different tempo at the start, with skipper Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal picking up where they left off in the first Test.

At Windsor Park Stadium a week earlier, they put on 229 for the first wicket to lay the platform for a crushing victory by an innings and 141 runs in three days.&nbsp;

This time they blazed 121 by lunch and added another 18 in the afternoon before Jason Holder finally brought much-needed discipline to the West Indies bowling.

He was rewarded with the wicket of Jaiswal for 57 via a low catch at deep gully by debutante batsman Kirk McKenzie.

That was the trigger for a mini-slide as Shubman Gill went caught behind Kemar Roach for 10, his second consecutive failure at number three. Sharma followed, bowled for 80 by a perfectly pitched delivery from left-arm spinner Jomel Warrican.

Kohli and Ajinkya Rahane seemed to have weathered the mid-afternoon storm only for Shannon Gabriel, the second change to the West Indies from the first Test, to uproot Rahane's off-stump on the stroke of tea.

"It felt like the heavens came down because not much was happening out there," said an exhausted Gabriel, &nbsp;reflecting on his lone wicket of the day.&nbsp;

"We were all over the shop in the first session and worked out our plans a lot better at lunch and got the reward. On a pitch like this, with hardly anything in it for the bowlers, we're happy to have taken four wickets."

India are giving a debut to right-arm fast-medium bowler Mukesh Kumar in place of seam-bowling all-rounder Shardul Thakur.

This is the 100th Test match between the West Indies and India since the first was played in Delhi in &nbsp;November 1948 at the start of the Caribbean side's historic inaugural tour to the sub-continent.

Despite being winless against their opponents for more than 21 years, the West Indies still lead India 30-23 in Test victories across the 99 matches.

WI vs IND 2023: Virat Kohli puts India on top on first day of second West Indies Test

West Indies applied the brakes to a runaway Indian start with the visitors reaching tea on Thursday at 182 for four after being put in to bat on the first day of the second and final Test.

After openers Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal belted 121 runs in the morning session at Queen's Park Oval in Trinidad, the tourists lost four wickets for the addition of 61 runs after lunch. It was the first session of the series to decisively go the home side's way.

Thrashed by an innings and 141 runs in three days in the first Test in Dominica a week earlier and seemingly in the same listless mood in the morning, West Indies' invigorated effort brought swift rewards in the afternoon.

Jaiswal, who marked his Test debut with a disciplined, determined 171 in the first Test, fell for 57 to a catch at deep gully by debutante&nbsp;Kirk McKenzie off Jason Holder to break the opening stand at 139.&nbsp;

McKenzie replaced Raymon Reifer in the batting line-up from the first Test while fast bowler Shannon Gabriel came in at the expense of off-spinner Rahkeem Cornwall as the other change to the Caribbean side.

India are giving a debut to right-arm fast-medium bowler Mukesh Kumar in place of seam bowling all-rounder Shardul Thakur.

Shubman Gill's move to number three again failed to bring the desired result. He was caught behind off Kemar Roach for 10. Sharma was undone on 80 by an excellent delivery from left-arm spinner Jomel Warrican which spun past the Indian captain's outside edge to hit off stump.

Gabriel, who struggled for control in his earlier spells, capped off an excellent two hours for the West Indies when he sent &nbsp;Ajinkya Rahane's off stump flying off the inside edge in the final over before tea.

Former captain Virat Kohli, who is playing his 500th international match for India, will resume after tea on a watchful 18 off 44 balls.

West Indies hit back on first day of second India Test

England's Stuart Broad became just the fifth bowler to take 600 Test wickets, as Australia ended Wednesday's opening day of the fourth Test at Old Trafford on 299-8.

Marnus Labuschagne and Mitchell Marsh each made 51 after England captain Ben Stokes won the toss in a match the hosts must win to maintain their hopes of regaining the Ashes at 2-1 down with two to play.

Chris Woakes led England's pace attack with 4-52 in 18.5 overs while Broad took 2-68 in 14 en route to his landmark.

James Anderson was the only change to the England side that won the third Test at Headingley by three wickets.&nbsp;

On his Lancashire home ground a fortnight short of his 41st birthday, Anderson had a frustrating day.

England's all-time leading Test bowler with 688 wickets, had figures of 0-43 in 17 overs.

History is against England. No side has won a Test at Old Trafford after winning the toss and bowling.

Broad was aiming to heap further misery on David Warner, having already dismissed the Australia opener 17 times in Tests -- including twice for a total of just five runs at Headingley.

But from Wednesday's first ball, Warner thrashed a wide delivery from Broad for four.

Broad, however, moved to 599 Test wickets when he had Usman Khawaja, Australia's other opener, lbw for three.

<h2>Woakes strikes&nbsp;</h2>

Woakes struck next to end a second-wicket stand of 46 when he had Warner caught behind off an edged drive, following an assured 32.

The next delivery saw star batsman Steve Smith top-edge a pull off Woakes that just cleared Mark Wood at fine leg before going for four.

An increasingly confident Smith drove off-spinner Moeen Ali for a straight six.

Having made 41, on a ground where four years ago his double century helped seal a 185-run win over England, Smith was lbw to express quick Wood.

Head was struck on the helmet by a Wood bouncer early in his innings and again looked uncomfortable against the short ball.

But he battled through. Both Head and Labuschagne unfurled several fine drives.

Labuschagne, however, fell one ball after completing his fifty, lbw to Moeen -- the only specialist spinner on either side after Australia dropped Todd Murphy.

Australia were 187-4 at tea only to lose Head five balls after the resumption as Broad took his 600th Test wicket.

Left-hander Head had made 48 when he hooked at a Broad bouncer and Joe Root held a low catch as he ran in from the boundary at fine leg.

Marsh, who had marked his first Test since 2019 with a hundred at Headingley, again drove strongly and made England pay for any loose deliveries as he led the way during a partnership of 65 with fellow all-rounder Cameron Green.

Their stand was broken when the recalled Green was lbw to Woakes.

Australia's 254-6 became 255-7 when Jonny Bairstow, whose wicketkeeping has proved fallible this series, held a one-handed diving catch to remove Marsh from an outside edge off Woakes.&nbsp;

The crowd roared in celebration as Marsh departed after hitting seven fours and a six in a quickfire stay of 60 balls.

Alex Carey&nbsp;almost made it through to stumps but fell to the new ball, caught behind off Woakes trying to withdraw his bat.&nbsp;

Mitchell Starc was 23 not out at the close.

England have won 13 of their last 16 Tests at Old Trafford but have not enjoyed an Ashes victory at the Manchester ground since Ian Botham hit a celebrated hundred in 1981.

Australia and England will lock horns in the fourth and penultimate Test of Ashes 2023 starting on July 19 at Old Trafford, Manchester. Pat Cummins &amp; Co. lead the series 2-1 despite losing the third Test&nbsp;in Headingley&nbsp;by three wickets. However, the visitors still have some issues to tackle prior to the commencement of the penultimate contest. David Warner's form has been a cause of concern for them and it will be interesting to see if he retains his spot.&nbsp;

Amid all this, Australia's former batter Mark Waugh has come out in support of Warner and feels he has done 'just enough' to retain his spot for the fourth Test in Manchester.&nbsp;

<h2>'Going to be too much of a shuffle in the batting order if they leave him out'</h2>

"There’s too much water under the bridge to change the batting order now," Waugh said on Fox Cricket. "Admittedly, he hasn’t had a lot go his way on this tour. He played really well at Lord’s in difficult conditions, he played well in the World Championship Test against India. I think he’s just done enough and it’s just going to be too much of a shuffle in the batting order if they leave him out now," he added.

Warner has not been in form in the ongoing series. The left-hander has so far managed scores of&nbsp;36, 9, 66, 25, 4 and 1 in six outings. Ahead of the fourth and penultimate Test, his opening partner Usman Khawaja backed him and told the reporters after a training session on Sunday (July 16), "From my point of view, Dave Warner has been one of the greatest openers of all time. It is him and ‘Haydos’ [Matthew Hayden] right up there for Australia I reckon, the top two ever, so I will always back Davey no matter what, and I think the other guys will, too.&nbsp;With all respect, the media will write what sells newspapers and I understand that."

It will be interesting to see if Australia go ahead with Warner once again in the upcoming Test. They are aiming to go 3-1 up in the five-match series to win their first-ever Ashes in England since 2001.

With all respect, the media will write what sells newspapers and I understand that." It will be interesting to see if Australia go ahead with Warner once again in the upcoming Test. They are aiming to go 3-1 up in the five-match series to win their first-ever Ashes in England since 2001. WATCH WION LIVE HERE You can now write for wionews.com and be a part of the community.
